Nevermind I fixed it myself. :-)

Thanks for the information

No details?

I used the schematic to locate the two output trim pots and gave both left and right a half turn back and forth to renew the internal resistant setting location and returned to initial settings.  When I tested it afterwards, the problem solved.

Replace the trimmers, - they will fail again if not.  They are cheap and easily available.
And you definitely need to put a multimeter on the emitter resistors and set the idle currents per the manual.
Once you do, you will see, that the adjustments are quite sensitive, even very small movements will make a huge difference and you cannot
just "put them back where they were".
Too high idle and the output stage will overheat, too low and you will overload the tweeters even at lower volumes because of ultra high-pitched
harmonics from crossover distortion.
Keep in mind that this is a Class B amplifier.

Martin,

Thanks for the info and at this point I am selling the system so thanks anyways.

I have the exact same problem. Entire system has been stored in a closet for years, likely due to this issue. Turntable works great but it as well as the CD player & tape deck all come on & system shuts down. My daughter thought she could smell something electrical. Overheating?
